Trevor Pinnock (harpsichord)About
With his first recording of The Well-Tempered Clavier (Book 1) Pinnock explores the summit of Bach’s intellectual and contrapuntal mastery.
“My journey with the Well-Tempered Clavier has been life-long. I first encountered it at about 12 years old when someone gave me a pink- and gold-bound volume, the old Czerny edition, which we now know to be notoriously unreliable. This gave me hours of discovery.
“A few years later, I heard all the preludes and fugues played on the piano on the radio, and I was hooked. In my twenties I myself recorded some preludes and fugues for radio broadcast, and I knew then that one day I would play them all.
